Reading Oedipus at Colonus | Alexandria
Read Oedipus at Colonus by Sophocles. Confronting mortality while wielding supernatural power, Sophocles' final play shows a blind, cursed Oedipus transforming from disgraced exile to divine protector. His death brings blessing instead of shame, challenging our assumptions about redemption and fate. In his last moments, this former king chooses where and how to die - a radical act of autonomy that redefines tragedy.
